Silhouettes of Aircraft

[KIWI-KiwiBandit]

Hello, can anyone provide a silhouette chart of the aircraft in this game please? I'm having trouble identifying aircraft in 'expert' mode. I'm brand new to the game, so still getting used to it, but a chart would be awesome. Thanks

Making a chart shouldn't be too difficult, but honestly the quality of the models and their long distance redering in BoS is good enough, that you can actually use real life identification charts.

While you wait for someone to make a chart, there are a few things that are worth looking for when learning AC indentification:

 

As a rule of thumb virtually all Soviet fighters of WW2 have relatively short, stubby wings that are very broad near the fuselage and pointed at the tips. They also have a very distinct radiator intake below the fuselage which no LW fighter has.

 

It's quite a bit more difficult to distinguish between the LaGG-3 and the early Yaks. The most obvious things to look for are the different shaped tails, the "hunchbacked" look of the Yak and the overall heavier look of the LaGG.

I had the exact same question and got an answer from a kind forum member. Use this:

Well, I just ran out of edit time lol ridiculous...

 

Here's a close up of a LaGG and a 109 that I made as well.  Hope it helps you not shoot down friendlies

Is it me or does the 109 look like a penis with wings?

[Klaue]

I think you need to cool down and put some ice on whatever is itching there.

 

You seem to see penises everywhere.

I love how both recognition devices clearly are influenced by the allied side who is printing it. The German aircraft obviously have western or eastern design attributes which the actual aircraft don't.
